Good info

till further research proves positive..i will just stick to my gala and teem

Geez but surely our 'suffer head' lifestyle in Nigeria should make up for all that calorie intake

I will not eat food any longer. Let me see whether hunger has calories

B3sty: What of Garri? What's the Percentage of Calorie in it?

Why is it that most Nlers do not want to read? they are given an "expo" and they are still demanding for the answers to be clearly written in a blackboard.

samjbo: I will not eat food any longer. Let me see whether hunger has calories

agreed. Let's start it today

Nice!!!

lmao, i remenber some time ago i went for lunch in my company's restaurant, i decided to go for a meal with low calories just because the face of the soup was very pleasant.
omo, wen i taste the food eh, chai! i nearly throw up, no single salt, pepper even maggi
na once i vow neva to near where low calories dey again

Ha. See me na. No wonder I'm not losing weight.I was eating more wheat thinking it's lower in calorie than garri.

And I love egusi soup and indomie too.

gbanikiti: So I have to be checking for calories before I eat? Imagine cooking a pot of okro soup with all the ingredients containing calories. God punish devil!

not calories,colestrole

story!
Food way my grandpa chop til he died @ 108,na im u say make i no chop. Calories ko.

http://www.africanweightloss.com contains plenty more nigerian meal calories. I just wish people would take note and watch what they eat.

chidyhels: story!

I hate this stupid arguement! Your grandpa lived above 80 and all his siblings and age mates died before they turned 10.

"Sweet" Nigeria food and low calories are enemies!
Even the way our salad is prepared sef, at the end you will just ponder and this is meant to be healthy
Nigeria food should be taken in very small quantity with lots of water and exercise afterwards

You are right, that's what I do, small eba, plenty veg soup etc.

I roast my plantain in oven, even my eggs..

Typical Local gurl

if lesser calories is the new local, then I dnt mind...

Gawd, if I stop eating Indomie and Rice I will develop Kwashiokor. Those are the only things I enjoy

Coldfeet: The op is right! Most of the foods we consume is laden with high calories! but then its OUR FOOD!!!! We can't do away with them. All we need do is make sure we control our portions! In Nigeria we eat so much of a particular class of food till we are fill! Which ought not to be so! Food at all times should be balanced with all class of food present! But the hustle of life has robbed us of time to do so.

I still wonder why some people add sugar to boiled yam! Even with its high calorie content?? Not healthy at all!!!!

Noodles should not be eaten plain!! Like most of us do, and especially NOT with EGGS!!!! Imagine the caloric content of one Super pack indomie noodles multiplied by 2 packs and then add that of 2 eggs?? Jeezs!! We are killing ourselves o! Carrots! Green beans! And tomatoes should at least be present in you noodle.

vislabraye: I hope ladies in the house are taking note. That's why I many of them with bulging stomach even though they have not put to birth.
.

And exactly should ladies take note of? Are these foods eaten by ladies alone? Would a typical Nigerian potential husband marry a lady that can't cook these foods? Would you feel comfortable with a lady who prepares only salad and other 'medemedes' in the name of watching weight?

@OP: it is well o! Wetin we go chop na?

Thank God two foods I don't like are high calorified! Lol! Pounded yam and egusi.

Anyways, it depends on one's lifestyle; Mufu the bricklayer would need all the pounded yam, egusi and beef he can get.

Eat veges proportional to the size of your rice. At the end of the day, you eat handful of rice, handful of veges and handful of meat/sauce..drink 2 cups of water and see your self going very healthy, your skin go change over night

Actually, i eat alot of veggies and fruit and I drink 5lt of water/day.

So long as I have not eaten Indomie/ rice, then its not food. Looking at the calories they have, I have a problem.

CO-INCIDENCE OF LIFE: 1. CHURCH has 6 letters so does MOSQUE. 2. BIBLE has 5 letters so does QURAN. 3. LIFE has 4 letters so does DEAD. 4. HATE has 4 letters, so does LOVE. 5. ENEMIES has 7, so does FRIENDS. 6. LYING has 5, so does TRUTH. 7. HURT has 4, so does HEAL. 8. NEGATIVE has 8, so does POSITIVE. 9. FAILURE has 7, so does SUCCESS. 10. BELOW has 5, but so does ABOVE. 11. CRY has 3 letters so does JOY. 12. ANGER has 5 so does HAPPY. 13. RIGHT has 5 so does WRONG. 14. RICH has 4 so does POOR. 15. FAIL has 4 so does PASS 16. KNOWLEDGE has 9 so does IGNORANCE. Are they all by Co-incidence? We should Choose wisely, this means LIFE is like a Double-Edged Sword. Do you Agree

nice but cry and joy no work. It should be cry and smile

anger and happy no work, it should be anger and er. . . peace?

Don't eat them too much, ESP if you don't exercise regularly. I changed my diet along time ago before child birth, and I can tell you, after some yrs now, I remain the Same. I reduce plenty pasta, rice all those orishirishi ...I exercise but just to keep my heart rate going.

Rice and noodles go increase you belly below as they turn to sugar.

Common, you can do it!

Everything you do in life requires calories( energy), even sleeping and breathing. OP never said you shouldn't eat those foods. The issue lies in taking in the amount you really need. So if you are underweight, load up,if u are over weight Abeg off load. A very active person eg an athlete can afford to eat pounded yam and egusi everyday and get away with it.

When yhu guys say all this thing about weight gain, yhu forget that we live in Nigeria. Its only a jobless person in Nigeria or that gets over weight. After eating poundered yam and egusi soup, Yhu now have to trek to your work . Even standing to get a bus devours weight. After going tru all yhu go tru in Nigeria, yhu now tell me not to eat well. Thanks for the info buh mehn, I have to chop to survive.
